Great minds discuss ideas, average minds discuss events, small minds discuss people

Our politicians know this sentiment. It's ignored in many other topics to increase the amount of people in the prison- to make the prison owners rich.

And amazing minds discuss nothing at all

another great insight from Eleanor Roosevelt

One's philosophy is not best expressed in words; it is expressed in the choices one makes.

In stopping to think through the meaning of what I have learned, there is much that I believe intensely, much I am unsure of. In the long run, we shape our lives and we shape ourselves. The process never ends until we die.

And, the choices we make are ultimately our own responsibility.

Wow, my thread got a pin.

Thank you God of the PIN!

She wouldn't say the same thing today.

Did I forget to mention boobs, black males or Obama??

It is like I hear crickets or something, is anyone out there?

Hello.. helloo, hellooo, helloooooo, helloooooo
"echo, echo' echo"

IOW, Eleanor didn't care about people, only causes.

She hectored her own husband into a fatal stroke.

I would love to hear her voice of reason today.

The elite today are little more than atheist who seek the total destruction of the Civilized world. To what end, I don't pretend to know.

Proverbs 21:9

Better to live on the corner of a roof than to share a house with a nagging wife.

There is only one Mind

The 100th Monkey

A story about social change.

By Ken Keyes Jr.

The Japanese monkey, Macaca Fuscata, had been observed in the wild for a period of over 30 years.

In 1952, on the island of Koshima, scientists were providing monkeys with sweet potatoes dropped in the sand. The monkey liked the taste of the raw sweet potatoes, but they found the dirt unpleasant.

An 18-month-old female named Imo found she could solve the problem by washing the potatoes in a nearby stream. She taught this trick to her mother. Her playmates also learned this new way and they taught their mothers too.

This cultural innovation was gradually picked up by various monkeys before the eyes of the scientists. Between 1952 and 1958 all the young monkeys learned to wash the sandy sweet potatoes to make them more palatable. Only the adults who imitated their children learned this social improvement. Other adults kept eating the dirty sweet potatoes.

Then something startling took place. In the autumn of 1958, a certain number of Koshima monkeys were washing sweet potatoes -- the exact number is not known. Let us suppose that when the sun rose one morning there were 99 monkeys on Koshima Island who had learned to wash their sweet potatoes. Let's further suppose that later that morning, the hundredth monkey learned to wash potatoe.

THEN IT HAPPENED! By that evening almost everyone in the tribe was washing sweet potatoes before eating them. The added energy of this hundredth monkey somehow created an ideological breakthrough!

But notice: A most surprising thing observed by these scientists was that the habit of washing sweet potatoes then jumped over the sea...Colonies of monkeys on other islands and the mainland troop of monkeys at Takasakiyama began washing their sweet potatoes.

Thus, when a certain critical number achieves an awareness, this new awareness may be communicated from mind to mind.
Although the exact number may vary, this Hundredth Monkey Phenomenon means that when only a limited number of people know of a new way, it may remain the conscious property of these people.

But there is a point at which if only one more person tunes-in to a new awareness, a field is strengthened so that this awareness is picked up by almost everyone!

BTW, TPTB have done all in their power to discredit this idea and the work itself. It would be too much of a threat to their overreaching power over us IF we knew that the true Power is within each of us and then radiates out.

Eleanor Roosevelt was a carpet munching bull dyke. That statement is 3 dimensional thought in a multidimensional universe. Why not read a little and come back with something a little more thought provoking?

Like JESUS TITTY FUCKING CHRIST!!!

NiatsTihs

All righty then, can we conclude that you don't like her??

OMG, please say it ain't so.

I feel so alone someones, most people talk about sports and other dumb shit. I hate eveyrone

^this

So they just sit there like a lump of clay?

Less OT. . .

My other fave of Mrs. Roosevelt is, "Do one thing every day that scares you."

More OT. . .

I rarely meet another person who is capable of discussing open-ended ideological topics. People are not able to grasp, let alone muse over, how things can be different. They just mutter the saddest words on the English language, "Well, that's the way it is," and dribble something about working, retiring, shopping or some other nonsense that has been drilled into our heads as to what's important.

The greatest minds know WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE if we choose to. Average minds are too afraid of the events that would unfold in order to achieve such change. And the small minds pontificate about Kim Kardashian's latest turd cutter photo.

I try and try. I ache to find the light that would lead me to believe there is hope. Unfortunately, that is not the case. The great fungal growth that is humanity moves at glacial speed. It will not be until the fires burn outside each and every person's door will they begin to realize a change is in order.

^that

No, they don't feel a need to blah blah blah, there is no need to blah blah blah, do or don't do, don't sit there talking about it like some parrot

Well said

nice

Thanks Oprah. Spoken like a true ignoramus.

You just said all the nobody posters (the ones not clinically insane) are great minds. That's all they discuss is ideas.

Everything you see around you is false, OP. There's nothing here, nothing at all. It's all an illusion. There's nothing to discuss.

The new mantra in society today is..

It is not my fault, so and so made me do it, or such and such is why I did it.

I stand by Eleanor's words..And, the choices we make are ultimately our own responsibility.

GLP has great minds indeed.
